If i could give it zero stars i would. Shouldnt need to create an account (just to receive loads of ads) and log in for one or two news items a day. Not called locally 'the daily zero' locally without good reason.

Works great Not updated as fast as I would like but overall a quality app.

Don Wilson

Takes time to become familiar with the app. but, print ver. is just like reading the paper in hardcopy.

Sung-Won Kim

Good local news. Big fan of quick and free news. Ads are part of the game.

Thanks for the improvements. Well, there is news but it is old. There are new articles under old ones. Why is this not like the iPad app? Update: Thanks for fixing the date order, now the newest news is above the old news. There still isn't all the news as the print version. No letters to the editor, no comics, no Classified, missing stories. The iPad app is 5+ stars, it is complete and accurate. Why no Android version similar? Update: there has been a lot of improvements this summer and now a tablet version like the iPad. Nice job.

Update more stable but loss of search is fatal flaw A recent update has done much to improve stability in an app that used to crash a lot. I give it one more star, for that improvement. Update now includes no search capability, whatsoever. In this day and age, I consider that to be a fatal flaw. It's further evidence McClatchy has abandoned Olympia's newspaper and advertisers. A lousy mobile app is just newspaper suicide. Update: Back to 1 star. I subscribe to the newspaper. The app requested login credentials, which I provided. But it stalls at "loading".

Have to now subscribe No. I've had this app for a long time and never needed a subscription. Now I do. I understand maybe you need to make more money but paying for something that has too many spelling errors is bs

Too many crashes This app crashes every time I update any other app. Permanently uninstalled. Developer seems to have ignored all reports filed. Can get the news I need from The Seattle Times or The Columbian without the hassles.
